I had picked up this book in hopes to round out my travel/journey text set, as well as the multicultural and international genre listings. The main theme of the book is to present traditional Arabic stories that have been passed through generations. I had seen bits and pieces of these stories around, but had not realized how violent or man friendly it was at times. However, I realize that this is part of the culture, and that most of traditional fairy-tales are more gruesome than what children are exposed to. Despite this, I found this to be an enjoyable version of the tales this book was. It incorporates brightly colored illustrations, ones I find typical of many Muslim mosques I have seen. The illustrations were also simple line drawings, which simplified the text. I found the stories interesting. They posses a significant amount of new language and adventure. I feel that this book pushes readers to think about cultures, and the differences between their own. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
